hint hint speaker boehner. if you want to do this in five weeks, a five-week window here to force negotiations, so you can say you got the president to negotiate, as long as you pass the clean -- temporary clean funding bill and debt ceiling height for even a small period of time, he'll sign it. the white house spent all day yesterday throwing out these hints in various ways. i suspect we're going to hear the president in some ways say the same thing. so i'm sort of befuddled here. i think boehner has a way out if he wants to take this. >> that's the big question. >> i don't know if he wants to take it or if he can. >> that's the point. right, david? we don't know if boehner -- whether boehner feels like he can put an end to this or whether there needs to be a "d" fault on our debt. >> we don't know if he's driving the car. the car up to now has been hijacked by 30 or 40 tea partiers in the house, ted cruz in the senate. and don't forget koch brother stoked right wing groups for the past months spending tens of

boehner loved the sequester. he said it would be a great way to make sure spending is cut across the board, and that's what the republicans wanted. when the bill was signed, boehner told the country, he told everybody just how much he loved it. >> when you look at this final agreement that we came to with the white house, you know, i got 98% of what i wanted. i'm pretty happy. >> wait a minute now. i thought it was the president's plan. see, folks, the lying just keeps coming. boehner continued his lies in an op-ed today. he said the president got his higher taxes, $600 billion from higher earners and no spending cuts at the end of 2012. well, let's do a little math for the speaker of the house. $1.2 trillion is greater than $600 billion. john boehner should know this. he did the math before. in fact, he was one of 174 republicans in the house of representatives who voted for the budget control act of 2011. those republicans, what did they get? they got $1.2 billion in cuts to set up by the sequester by passing t

boehner also said something very curious today. he said, and i'm quoting him, he took a great risk in his speech the day after the election when he said he was open to more revenue. he was putting revenues on the table, but the only thing he said was exactly what mitt romney had been saying for the last years, closing loopholes and reducing deductions. >> and, martin, he still had to walk that back afterwards. professor reich is right here. what the american people need to understand is that we're looking at a political party that for different reasons can sometimes put politics ahead of the people. and the reasons here have to do with the monied interests and the way they represent the 1% from a political perspective. so, again, my hope is that once the tea party congress within -- the tea party caucus within the congress is diminished in the new year, we've gone off the fiscal curb, we can have some reality in the discussions we need to have. >> but professor reich, boehner says there's a stalemate. but realistically, is the stal

yesterday at 10:30, the chief of staff called boehner and said he wanted that time but the boehner people said he never really agreed to that. at 11:45, your next guest, dan pfeiffer, puts out a tweet saying they had put out the request. jay carney appears in the briefing room. perhaps he made a mistake in the sense of leaving john boehner and the republicans an opening. not only did he call the time coincidental, which a lot of people took as a grain of salt in terms of the conflict with the debate, but he also cited the congressional schedule. if you look at that schedule, getting to your question, the house of representatives after their six-week recess, is coming in, the first vote is 6:30 wednesday night. what a lot of people don't realize is the house has to actually vote to invite the president to have this joint session of congress to shut everything down, to bring him in, bring the senate across, all the rituals involved with a state of the union-style address. then there's the security sweep, as well, that has to happen presumably after that vote. obviously, if you do the logist
